Mm Links January 2013 Week 4 – New Players Always Welcome.
38 Answers
This is Queen Christiana, not quite so cheerful today, as this is my last week as setter of the MM Links. It is also the last leg of our Big Trip. Rules for guessing the links are in a separate posting below.
Our final destination was Singapore, the Lion City. We stayed in an inexpensive hotel in a pedestrianised precinct. With a temple next door and market stalls and a hawker market opposite, there was always something busy and colourful to occupy us.
Further afield we visited the strange, fantasy world of the run-down but fascinating Tiger Balm Gardens, now renamed Haw Par Villa, the imposing 165 metre high Singapore Flyer, and – our favourite – the Night Safari. There was something both magical and scary about the sounds of lions, tigers and elephants etc., calling and growling at each other, as our safari train took us around.
We marvelled at the luxurious shopping malls, especially the Marina Bay Sands complex, with its three tall towers housing a hotel, complete with ship-shaped garden and infinity pool on top, and wept at Changi Prison Museum and the beach where a dreadful massacre took place. There was far more to do than we had imagined, including the magnificent orchid gardens, a dragon-boat ride and that tourist ‘must’, a drink in the Long Bar at Raffles Hotel
And yes, it was hot, but looking out at the snow, I know where I’d rather be just now!

According to normal practice, for the everyday running of MM, I shall follow this rule on word length, in that each of my pre-selected link words contains at least four letters and at most eight letters. Stray outside this range and you will be wasting one of your attempts!
Each of the selected link words may go in front of, or behind my challenge word to make a new longer word or to make a well-known phrase or saying. The combination will never be a person's name.
The competition will officially close on Sunday Evening at 7.00pm, when gen2 will declare my pre-selected words and then apply the same rules for awarding points that have been applied during all MM Link Games in the past. My set of four words to have their links predicted should appear below at 9.00am.
